Millaista työtä?

"Work is good for as long as you don’t forget to live."
(Bantu saying)

When you are looking for work and thinking about what kind of work you would like to do, make sure to find out about the education and training required in Finland to practise the profession you are interested in. Also, make sure you are fully aware of all the tasks involved, as they may differ from those in the same profession in your country of origin. Your local Employment Agency will provide you with more information.

The Internet is a good place to find information on different professions: what kind of training is required, what kind of salary is paid for specific jobs and whether it is easy or difficult to find work in certain fields. The Internet also has varied career choice programmes, in which you answer questions regarding your skills and interests and based on these answers, the programme suggests suitable professions for you. The website of the Employment Agency contains more information on career planning as well as a Career Choice Programme. You can find information on different professions at www.ammattinetti.fi. You will also find out about the places where you can study for the profession you are interested in and about the development prospects in the field you have chosen. All this information will assist you in choosing the right career for you.
